Packers WR Romeo Doubs doesn’t have the most prolific resume of the receivers who are scheduled to hit free agency. He hasn’t topped 1,000 yards receiving in his career yet and the former fourth-round pick topped out at 724 yards this past season on 55 catches.

However, he is going to be in relatively high demand as a free agent this week, and not just because teams are desperate for wideouts. There are indications that Doubs’ best football could be ahead of him. He was the closest thing the Packers had to a No. 1 wideout the last few years and notched 18 receiving touchdowns the last three years. In Pro Football Focus’ receiving grade, which includes routes in which a receiver isn’t targeted, Doubs was 27th in 2025 and 40th in 2023. 

Green Bay’s offense spreads the ball around relentlessly, which has capped Doubs’ overall statistical production. He’ll be just 26 years old in 2026, though, and has the size and speed to operate on the perimeter. Most teams still have three receivers on the field for the majority of their plays, so the demand for a starting-caliber wideout like Doubs will be high. 

Doubs, 25, was selected in the fourth round by the Packers out of Nevada in the 2022 NFL Draft. He just finished the final year of a four-year, $4,343,916 rookie contract that included a $683,916 signing bonus and made a base salary of $3.4 million under the Proven Performance Escalator.

Doubs will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026 

In 2025, Doubs appeared in 16 games for the Packers and caught 55 passes on 85 targets for 724 yards and six touchdowns.

Seattle Seahawks

This might seem like an awkward fit at first blush. Seattle has the reigning Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba and veteran Cooper Kupp under contract for next season. The Seahawks are also hoping to re-sign Rashid Shaheed and liked what they saw from rookie Tory Horton. However, Shaheed might get poached away by a richer offer in free agency, with some buzz this week that his market could hit $18 million a year. Horton won’t be healthy until training camp, which might impact how much the team can count on him taking a big step forward. 

Doubs would replace Shaheed as an outside receiver and a vertical threat down the field, though he would do it more with size and body control than Shaheed’s field-flipping speed. The Seahawks have plenty of cap space to spend this offseason, so it’s just a matter of what they want to prioritize. If they are priced out on Shaheed or he doesn’t pick their offer, Doubs should be a comparable pivot, perhaps for a few million less annually. 

The Seahawks have also quietly been keeping tabs on Doubs for some time now. There were whispers about them checking on his trade availability at various points over the past few years. Seattle was also one of the teams that hosted Doubs on a top 30 visit back when he was coming out of Nevada. Seahawks GM John Schneider cut his teeth as a scout and executive with the Packers before taking his current role, so there are a lot of parallels between how the two organizations view players. 

New England Patriots

The release of WR Stefon Diggs will turn receiver into a glaring hole for the Packers, one they are expected to try to address with a major addition. It takes two sides to make a deal, though. The drumbeat coming out of New England, either from comments made by Patriots decision-makers or dot connecting from beat reporters, is that the team wants to avoid getting desperate and overpaying. 

That could push them away from the A.J. Brown’s and Alec Pierce’s of the world and toward the second tier of the market. Doubs won’t be “cheap” per se but he should be more affordable than some other options. He would bring some size to the room for New England, as at 6-2 he’d be just the second wideout over six feet on the roster. 

I would wager the Patriots have Doubs pretty high up their free agent board as well. De facto GM Eliot Wolf is the son of longtime Packers GM Ron Wolf and came up through that system. Doubs also took a 30 visit with the Patriots back in 2022 and the bulk of the front office remains intact from then. Teams will hold onto their research from those visits and use them when they make free agent decisions years later. 

That said, Doubs would be a little more of the same for the Patriots when it comes to their receiving group, which is deep on contributing-level talent but light on star power. If the Patriots get wedged out from other additions, though, adding Doubs is better than nothing and gives them options heading into the draft. 

Buffalo Bills

The Bills will finalize a big trade for WR D.J. Moore on Wednesday but that doesn’t seem to be the only swing GM Brandon Beane has cooked up. Reports this past week indicated the Bills want to keep adding to a room that includes Moore, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer and Keon Coleman. Doubs was one of the players linked to the Bills. 

Buffalo has been trying to find a reliable X receiver for QB Josh Allen, someone with size and sure hands to win in man coverage on the perimeter, contested situations, down the field and in the scramble drill. Coleman is great in contested and off-script situations but doesn’t have the juice to consistently beat coverage from the outside, even setting aside all of the maturity concerns that derailed his sophomore season. 

Palmer had just 303 yards last year after Beane rolled the dice on him as a free agent, partially due to injuries, partially due to just not taking a step forward like the Bills hoped. There is a decent chance that if the Bills signed Doubs, they would look to trade or cut Palmer, even though half his salary for 2026 is already guaranteed. Having both for the same role would be redundant. Doubs fits the job description that the Bills are seeking above, and while this would be a similar signing to the Palmer one, he would arrive in Buffalo with more production. 

Tennessee Titans

The Titans are expected to be active to remake their receiving corps and give No. 1 pick Cam Ward better support going into his second season. They’ve been linked to a few different players, including Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson, but they have plenty of money to double dip. Tennessee has over $80 million in available cap space right now, No. 2 in the league, and will add another $13.4 million if they cut WR Calvin Ridley as expected. 

Fourth-rounders Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike had decent rookie seasons all things considered and are players the Titans are excited to keep developing, but they need some known quantities in the room to help Ward develop. Robinson makes a ton of sense as a slot target for OC Brian Daboll, who coached him his entire Giants’ career. Ayomanor would man one perimeter spot and Dike can work as both a slot and flanker. However, Doubs would be able to take another outside spot, so the Titans aren’t in a spot where they have to have one of the rookies take a step forward. 

Another connection worth knowing here is team president Chad Brinker spent a couple of years in Green Bay’s front office before coming over to Tennessee, including 2021 and 2022. That would have been when the Packers were evaluating and eventually selected Doubs, along with his rookie season. Connections like this are important in free agency because there’s so much unknown when players are changing towns and schemes. Decision-makers want to cut down on the uncertainty as much as possible and tend to target players they’re already familiar with.
